Omg, this synth gives me such a nostalgic feeling, it sort of reminds me of Samurai Champloo. Anyway, the only thing negative I have to say about this is that the bassline doesn't necessarily suit the main synth lead. Good work though.
OH!...
When you get the chance can you check out my new track on my channel called "Desire".
THNX ^_^

looked for Desire but couldnt find it...didja rename it then? Yeah the fact that the two riffs dont mix is typically me, notice that in the end I FORCED em to mix hee hee, I like the shock value of it, peeps r expecting one thing and the get another...buyer beware lol

Glad to hear you making music again, hope things are turning around for the better. Interesting intro. Wobble, wobble, wobble, Hallelujah! lol

Way to go Rats, keep 'em coming!

I've listened to a few of your tracks and i think you've got a good, unique sound. It kind of reminds me of sonic youth with a touch of the Ramones or something.
The frantic mixture of grungy guitars, fast drumbeats and distorted vocals makes a great combo.
The vocal needs to be more upfront as already stated and maybe a little less mid range and a bit more treble on the guitars to stop it crowding the bass.
You have great ideas and play them very tightly so i reckon with a little more work on your mixdowns you could really up the ante.

Thanks for the kind man; I still dont know how much this tragedy in January has affected my music cuz I still aint got an electric guitar as yet (the final missing ingredient) but hopefully I wont crawl into a dark bag when I start recording in earnest again; Ive uploaded a new tune called Lies Lived In The Light, did it like 2 days ago with an acoustic kids guitar someone gave me, my laptop and Audacity...play loud

i think the lo-fi sound of it gave it some character and nostalgia and the timing and fx were great! kinda reminded me of land of the loops .good stuff!

I like the melody and atmosphere on this track, dark and grimey! The drums are a bit fast paced and repetitive but a good track overall!

I agree with John,great guitar tone and I like the chord changes you've used and the ending fits very well.

Very good Rats!

on Godhed - Tune It Or Die aka Alms For The Poor by Rats
Track needs a bit of mixing, my friend, sounds like there's a lot of great things going on, but its really difficult to make it all out (just trying to be helpful).

I look forward to hearing the remix :-)

This is never going to be remixed. This is Godhed. Godhed is what it is, no masters exist for this.

Yes ! My favorite Mulchefye tune, its catchy and its fun, but its a serious subject, so it just messes with all the emotions like good art should!
Rats
Rats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Nuff respect dude; yes it was quite emotionally messed up to do this track, that I can tell you. It was recorded the week before he died. Sometimes when I am really messed up about the whole thing I listen to this track and I think, sometimes, that the reason he died was that I recorded it.

that would explain alot the mix sounded like you were holding a mic up to a speaker the mix was low and very static this tune is not direct to the speakers but i can see you put a great deal into making these tunes keep them coming.
Rats
Rats replied 1st Mar 2012 - 14 years ago
actually it was all recorded direct but the analog equipment and software i was using contributed to the overall low-fi sound, which i am slaven unto

on F U N K E N-Ritualistic Bloodletting Dance by Rats
cool tracks kinda has an oldskool vibe it a great track but would it live up to the expectations of a release i am just not sure we will see if numberjack has a listen and we will see what he thinks
Rats
Rats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Coolness...keep in mind that Funken trax tend to be long, and therefore much compression is sometimes necessary in order to load the bloody thing. I have all these trax in .wav format. I am quite certain that if you guys had these original mixes u could tweak them eq-wise to your preconceived notions, thereby perhaps making them accessible to the audience they were originally created for. As for whether it would "live up to the expectations of a release", perhaps u did not look at my reply to endtransmission; the video is going to be banned everywhere, and Funken's stage show will be no different. I have read all the reviews. Kudos dude and thankee-sai for taking the time to listen; I WILL keep them coming, now that u guys have lit a FIRE under the @$$ of Funken.

LOL yeah it can be trying at times...I continue to push the s#!t as far as I can...hopefully I will get a replacement distortion pedal within the next week or so, but I do not know how my DOD American Metal will EVER be replaced! Piece of American S#!T If I cannot replace it, I am going to SMASH it...sort of off-topic I know, but VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE

Were you blazing when you did this one then? Haha!
Sounds like an interlude from an old Beastie Boys record fam, like a modern day Brass Monkey or something.
Rats
Rats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
LOL blazing=definately...I had heard of these peeps who take energy drinks and snort coke and dance at these raves until the sun comes up, and one night while smoking huge buds and listening to old Kraftwerk I had a vision of people dancing while coughing up great spongy curds of blood upon the dance floor, continuing to dance on the bloody stumps of their legs having worn their feet away. The video will most certainly be banned everywhere when and if I decide to create it.

Recording on drugs, always mixed results I used to find. God knows how you made a track on Acid. It's got some nice elements still.

Hell yeah! an istant fav. I'd like a bit more level on the vox. But man, this is f***ing great. Intense 1:45 minutes.

Rats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanx dude nuff respect! I suppose by now u know how I feel about vox hee hee...I treat vox the same way I would treat any other instrument in the mix; if it sounds good f@#k it. This was a particularly hard song to record because of the subject matter, and also because I was completely WASTED for the vocal track. And the funny thing is this, I was even more wasted for THIS vocal track than I was for the Blast Aria track and THIS is more coherent! Go figure...

This is very amusing. Sweet idea, demonstrates a great idea. Up the production a bit, and this track will be awesome.

Love it

Rats replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hiya John, I really like YOUR stuff as well! The production is what it is. Most of these Mulchefye tunes are from a period of my life when I was attempting to drink myself to death; everything from the "Mulchefye" self-titled album straight through till "No" Volume 2 is from that despiceable period in my life so no apologies for production or sound quality will be made. I was very VERY drunk. Sorry bout that NO I'M NOT

A very hypnotic track. Well conceived and well executed. Like something out of the 60s underground music scene.

I would have downloaded this baby if it available. Anyways, I faved.

There is also another version of this song, Light Eater PCP which I might make available for dl. This version was played and executed entirely under the influence of LSD way back in 2002, I still dont know how I got it to sounds so good, all I remember about recording it is total chaos. I will make this song available for dl for the next 24 hrs or until I sign in again, so go ahead dude. I am gearing up to print all of these tunes onto a 33 rpm vinyl dupplate as soon as I find a way to do it...who amongst yas would pay ten bucks for a copy? album is going to be called "No".

PS "picobat" means "play in case of bad acid trip"....I can help a lot of people with this hee hee
